Frequently Asked Questions - MO-IPL2 Polsen

What devices are compatible with the Polsen MO-IPL2?

The Polsen MO-IPL2 is compatible with Apple devices that have a Lightning connector, including iPhone X, iPhone 8/8 Plus, iPhone 7/7 Plus, iPhone 6/6s, iPhone 5/5s, iPad (with Lightning), and iPod touch (5th generation and later). Ensure your device runs iOS and supports audio recording apps.

How do I connect and use the MO-IPL2 microphone?

Simply plug the Lightning connector into your iOS device. The LED on the A/D converter will blink to indicate power. Attach the tie clip and windscreen to the microphone, then clip it 6–8 inches from the sound source. Open a compatible recording app and press record. The LED lights up solid during recording.

Do I need a special app to record with this microphone?

No special app is required, but the microphone works with any audio or video recording app from the App Store that supports external microphones. Popular choices include Voice Memos, GarageBand, and third-party apps like Ferrite or Filmic Pro.

Can I monitor audio while recording?

You can monitor playback after recording by plugging headphones into the 3.5 mm jack on the A/D converter. However, you cannot monitor live audio during recording; the headphone jack is for playback only. AirPods will be disabled during recording.

What does the LED indicator mean?

The LED indicator serves two functions: it blinks when the microphone is connected and receiving power, and it lights up solid when recording is active in a compatible app.

How can I reduce wind noise and pops?

Always use the included foam windscreen over the mic capsule. This helps diminish vocal plosives (like 'p' and 'b' sounds) and wind noise. For best results, position the microphone 6–8 inches from the sound source.

What is the optimal distance for recording?

For the best audio quality, the MO-IPL2 should be placed approximately 6 to 8 inches (15–20 cm) from the sound source. This ensures clear, detailed audio without excessive breath noise or distortion.

Can I use wireless headphones like AirPods with the MO-IPL2?

AirPods will be disabled while the microphone is recording. They will become active again once recording stops. To avoid interruptions, use wired headphones connected to the headphone jack on the A/D converter.

How do I prevent phone calls from interrupting my recording?

The MO-IPL2 is disabled during incoming calls. To avoid interruptions, enable Airplane Mode on your iPhone before recording. This can be done in Settings or Control Center.

What is included in the box?

The Polsen MO-IPL2 comes with the following: lavalier microphone with tie clip, foam windscreen, carry pouch, and user manual.

RECORDING TIPS

• For the best recording quality, the MO-IPL2 microphone should be approximately 6 to 8 inches from the sound source.
• Always use the foam windscreen to diminish vocal plosives (e.g., the "pop" from P and B sounds) and wind noise.
• To prevent cable tension that can move the microphone and create handling noise during recording, create a loop in the cable, and tape it to the inside of a garment.
• If you experience excessive breath noises or inconsistent levels due to head movement, try attaching the mic upside down.
